The issue with micro/baby eagles is demand. People discuss wanting them, but then when it comes time to put together a group order to justify the work for the shop it inevitably falls through. If you want one bad enough, you could eat the up front costs and take one for the team.

I've been searching for for info on this single shot thing, and still don't understand what exactly it is. Why would a SA handgun be required to fire only one shot (or am I totally misunderstanding this?)? I have an M&P 9c and a Sig SP2022 that I bought out of state (legally). What exactly needs to be done to them when I bring them to CA? I've already got a 10 round mag for the sig, and working on finding some for the M&P before I bring them to CA.

Nothing at all you already own them when you move here. The only thing you have to do is fill out and send in the new resident handgun registration form. Hopefully someone will post a link for it for you.

Rad is correct. The SSE is only a way for CA to comply with CA law as written to be able to buy certain firearms; those not listed on the roster.

As a new resident you may bring in any firearm you own so long as you don't violate any CA law by doing so. No AW and no magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds.

As a new resident you are required to give to the police, sell to a CA resident or register your handguns; and come 01.01.2014 your long guns too, within 60 of when the firearm comes into CA.

Does anyone know if the Single Shot mod can be done to a Beretta 96A1?
If so are the parts readily available and from where? Also wanted to ask, on the ca Roster of certified handguns, it shows a 96/steel,alloy with a 4.9" barrel. Would this not include the 96A1? I don't think Beretta makes a plain model 96 with no other designation.

I want to get one of the new off-roster RIA tactical models. Anyone have an out of state source who will SSE it? Should I ask this in the Calguns handgun section?

If you really want one, buy a 16" barrel and cut it down. Install the barrel link and pin and your ready to go with only a sled mag.

I am sse a handgun soon. Talked to table rock arms and arranged with him for the sse l but who has the best rate for the transfers. I'm in Lancaster and am seeing who can handle the ffl at a good price. Ebr works told me 100 just for the out of state transfer but it seems high. A local ffl (can't do sse) only charges 75 including d'ros so I am looking for the best deal. Please anyone who can help or has done one chime in. Thank you.

Dam. That's competitive pricing right there. My apologies and Ebr I will be in touch with you as soon as I know its on its way to Ryan. I apologize for my misunderstanding and thank you for the prompt reply

Help me! As usual I'm running on not enough sleep. If I keep trying to read all the way through this thread I'll compound the problem.

1. In general with a full size 1911 What length barrel would I want to have to achieve the required overall length for SSE?

2. Where would be the best place to purchase a barrel of that length strictly for doing SSE on full size 1911s? Is it possible to buy a barrel that already has a link on it? I would just grind on it anywhere necessary to make it a sure fit on all 1911s.

I think I can spend a few minutes in my cave and come up with sled/zero round fixed mag. Thanks in advance for not scolding me about my poor search capabilities I did a SSE with EBR and it was a smooth operation but I would like to be able to ship the necessary barrel etc. to somebody out of state so they can ship the 1911 to a local FFL that is on board with this concept.

As per Colt's website a standard 1911 Gov Model has a 5" Barrel and an OAL of 8.5".

You need to gain 2' in OAL to meet the min OAL of a SSE pistol. The shortest barrel you could use is a 7". Sarco carries them but are out of stock on the .45ACP model right now. They don't come with the link and I don't know of anyone that sells a long barrel with the link installed already.

The last piece of the puzzle is a long screw used to replace on of the grip screws. This will lock your "0" round sled into place and complete your SSE 1911 pistol.

Have fun shopping and be sure to share the names of any OOS dealers that are willing to do this for you so that others can get fun stuff too.

Thanks very much Jesse. Would you happen to know what the threads are on a grip screw?

I am getting more comfortable with the whole sse thing - but would feel much better if I could beat the dead horse just one more time - maybe to make sure laws etc haven't changed since the opening of the thread.

I would like to purchase a XDS .45 from gun broker.
I would like to ship it to this place as my ffl and for the sse: http://www.directactionsolutions.net/
Once all the waiting is over - then I can legally have a fully functional semi-auto 5 round XDS?
I don't need to do any reverse engineering from the single shot set up myself in the dark of night, in the corner of my garage?

Please do let me know when shops change information. I can't keep up with every shop's phone number changes / moves / website changes / etc. While I would love to have a detailed list of every single type of gun each shop is able to convert, very few (exactly 2) owners have been pro-active about keeping me up to date with their capabilities. Thank you.

I recently picked up a SSE 1911. I'm pretty sure the shop is doing it wrong. This may have been an isolated incident as this was one of many guns that I had in a holding pattern, but I believe this is how they normally do SSE based on conversations I heard in the shop before (but didn't realize at the time what was being said).

I went to pick up my pistol after the ten day wait. They brought it out, looked at the tag, saw it was an SSE, and said they needed to convert it in the back room. At this point it was in its case. The case was closed normally. The case is not big enough to close with an SSE pistol in it. 15 minutes later they came back with it I SSE configuration (case now held closed by rubber bands with barrel sticking out). We did the take possession, go outside, change my mind about original parts dance and then they converted it back to stock configuration.

I thought it had to be in SSE config before the DROS all the way until after pick up. Assuming that is the case, do I try to enlighten them next time I go in, or do I just let it go since they are likely to believe their own FUD? I'm pretty sure they would raise their SSE fee as they wouldn't be able to perform them as often (or would have to buy more parts), but I'd rather not see them out of business.
